The Big Question

Proverbs 3:6

"In all thy ways acknowledge him, 

and he shall direct thy paths."    

    How do I ask the "Big Question," and how will I know the right time to ask? The question I'm talking about is the question that every person that gets saved ask; "Lord what do you want me to do for you?" First let me say, as a newborn Christian you don't need to worry about your calling until you have become a mature Christian, "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby," (1 Pet. 2:2). 
    During our lives we are always in a hurry, impatient and most of the time headed in the wrong direction. Now Let me ask; "Can we really accomplish anything positive for God that way?" Waiting on the Lord is something the godly do. It's about holding on tight, hoping with expectation and trust, knowing that our Lord is not making us wait just to see how long we can take it.
    There are times when God will delay His answer, and we will at times wonder why He seems so reluctant to intervene in our affairs: "I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God," (Ps. 69:3). But knowing the Lord, we trust that He will come at the perfect moment, not a second too soon or too late.
    We must have complete dependence on God and the willingness to allow Him to decide the terms, including the timing of His plan. Trusting God with the timing of events is one of the hardest things to do. The half-joking prayer, "Lord I need Patience, and I need it right now," is not far from the truth of how we often approach matters of Spiritual Growth and the Lords will. To wait on the Lord produces Character in the life of the Christian in that it involves patience, "But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing," (James 1:4).
    My Friends, This doesn't mean we sit idly by as we wait on the Lord to act on our behalf. We should not spend our time doing nothing! We should continue to do the work He has given us to do. One thing you must remember; just because you don't get an answer or the answer you were waiting for is this: You may not be mature in the Word of God enough for what God wants you do for Him. Or you are already in the place and doing what His plan is for You. May God Bless All That Serve And Acknowledges Him. 
Amen!
